Just curious on how far I can push tire size on a stock 2013 wrangler unlimited sport. I have 32's on right now.

You should be able to fit 33s without any issues. If you're running stock wheels, a pair of 1.5" spacers and trimming your fenders & air dam should give you enough room to run 35s... (Have a buddy with similar setup) however, you might rub a little bit at full turn... plus if you have a 3.21 gear ratio you might hate how it drives. Even with trimming your flares, when disconnected the tires will hit them at full stuff.

I plan on using the bushwhacker flat fender flares eventually. But I have a deal with the dealership for tires and was curious on how high I can push it before them

I had the BFG KM2s in their 33x10.5 (255/80-17) and never rubbed with no lift. I had to do the steering stop mod and am putting a 2" spring lift on this weekend cause I rub the sway bar in front at full lock (and hit the fenders and the air dam that is now trimmed) going to a 285/75-17 (34x11.5) in the KM2 last week.

Just so you know, I believe the dealership can only flash the jeep CPU for tires up to 34". Something to consider. Any larger and you'll need a procal or tuner to correct the speedo.

I am running 305/70/16s on 16x8.5 with 4.5" backspace and -6mm offset
Big bumps and also flexing they will rub the rear fenders a bit and backing out of tight spots they just touch the front airdam....... am gonna trim my fenders to solve this.

My air dam is already removed because I have an after market bumper and skid plate. So if I do want to go up to 34" tires, I will have to do the fender flares then? Sweet good to know. Next mod incoming.
